Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9623733A1] Arrangement for water purification, comprising a pressure vessel (11) containing a filtering membrane device (10) of the reverse osmosis type, a water supply conduit (14) connected to the pressure vessel (11) via a pressure pump (13), a recirculation pump (12) provided in the pressure vessel for recirculating the liquid therein, an outlet (24) for purified water provided on the pressure vessel (11), a return line (23, 15) via a pressure valve (21) connecting the pressure vessel (11) to the inlet of the pressure pump (13), a drain outlet provided on the pressure vessel for dirty water collected in the pressure vessel (11) at the dirty side of the filtering membrane, a drain conduit (27), or the like, connected to the drain outlet and incorporating a flow restrainer (28) connected in parallel with a flush valve (29), and a control device (30) for the flush valve. The arrangement also comprises means (31) adapted for measuring of the conductivity of the purified water, the control device (30) being adapted after each tapping of purified water to open the flush valve (29) for a time period determined by the quotient between the last measured conductivity level and a normal level of conductivity stored in the control device. Beside the arrangement also a method is provided for determining of a flushing time for a pressurized membrane chamber in an arrangement for water purification by means of reverse osmosis.
